A 34-year-old man has been jailed after pleading guilty to manslaughter.

Sanchez Zampaladus, of Earl Howe Street, Leicester, appeared at Leicester Crown Court today (Thursday, November 26) where he was sentenced to four years in prison after admitting the offence at an earlier hearing.

It follows an altercation which happened in Market Street, Leicester on Friday, June 5, 2015, where 26-year-old Clarke Allred was punched twice in the face.

He had been on a night out in the city when he was involved in an altercation involving Zampaladus who then attacked him. Clarke sustained serious head injuries and was taken to the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham where he subsequently died on Tuesday 9 June.

Zampaladus was arrested shortly after the incident and was originally charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm, following Clarke’s death that charge was changed to manslaughter.

Detective Chief Inspector Jonny Starbuck was the senior investigating officer during the investigation, he said: “Zampaladus’ actions that tragic night led to the death of a young man and devastated a family, thankfully they have been spared the ordeal of going through a lengthy trial.

“This has been a deeply distressing incident for Clarke’s family, they have shown immense courage throughout the investigation and subsequent legal proceedings, we hope that the conclusion of those proceedings today will help them to move on with their lives.”
